Forgive One Another

Have you ever explained to your kids “how” to forgive someone or to let go of an offense? How to tell if there are people they’re holding a grudge against? This is super important. It can all seem super abstract, even as an adult!

It’s important to note that forgiveness is not saying that what they did was ok, and it does not mean they have to be allowed into your inner circle. It’s simply taking yourself out of the judge's seat and handing the gavel to God, where it belongs.

“Unforgiveness is like drinking poison and hoping the other person will die…” It only hurts you. Don’t let your kids get stuck with this. Also, research whether you have a high sense of “justice” or “fairness” - they are 2 very different things and affect how hard this can be for some people.
